Hi Emily,
I knew Becky (although I am sure there are others lurking here who knew her
better). She was a very good natured and gracious person and dance leader,
who worked tirelessly to support and promote dancing in the Cleveland, Ohio
area. She published three (I think) books of dances, the
Hi Michael,
I am not sure I understand the premise of the question.
Breaking things down, an instructor has verbal description and
demonstrations as primary tools teach a dance. If an instructor feels they
cannot describe a figure adequately well verbally, they should not hesitate
to demonstrate
Dear Colleagues,
I will be at NEFFA 2024 calling a session of "the best dances of 2010 and
later". I have a pretty good list of nominees, but if anyone wants to add
suggestions, or encourage selections of particular dances, I would love to
hear them. I am looking for a good variety of geographic
Hi Maia,
I have vague memories of having done this once in the mists of time. As I
recall the medley went from English to contra, starting with one of the
swoopy stately ECDs, working to something more punctuated like Childgrove,
a 'old style' proper contra chestnut and ending with some popular
laim and authorship of mathematical truths (because, yes, You're

Hi All,

A1: N1 All L 1 1/2 to side waves, balance, N2 All R 3/4;
A2: Balance, All walk forward and swing N1;
B1: Circle L 3/4, P swing;
B2: Balance the Ring, N1 Roll away across, Balance the Ring, Petronella
twirl to next.

Hi Joe,
The most important thing is to have a sorting system that allows you to
find a dance fast when you need it. The key elements of this system would
thus be based on how one programs and how frequently one calls. For
example, a caller who programs in advance and calls one dance per quarter
Hi Chet,
I probably missed something in the instructions, but it looks to me like
the dance is indecent (robins left, larks right facing up and down). Due to
a peculiarity of the choreography, it can start improper, but will end
indecent every time after that. Is that correct? Can anyone else
Hi Katherine,
I call heys like this (broken down) and found it very successful. Call as
you usually do; just before the action. If you have called the whole
evening before the action, then people will assume the hey is no different
and be late.
Hope this helps, and best of luck!
